Pawz & Effect's Podcast

What the heck is a Manatee & How can we help save them?  Listen along as we talk to  Cora Berchem, the Club’s Manatee Research and Multimedia Specialist.  Cora worked in film and television in New York City before becoming involved with manatees in 2013 when she made a feature-length documentary about Florida’s endangered gentle giants titled Before It’s Too Late. Learn from Cora about interacting with manatees, where they like to go and how you can help!

In April of 2003, Chris put his career on hold and enlisted in the United States Army. He participated in a special program with the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command where he utilized his extensive IT background to help develop a gang member intelligence database that was used by area police and federal law enforcement.

As part of the 101st Airborne Division in Iraq, Chris was instrumental in providing U.S. Service men and women with invaluable communication tools, such as Internet and telephone access, as well as secured communication.

He has experienced success in the professional world also and currently serves as a federal energy compliance and regulations manager for a major technology company. In 2009, he received a congressional nomination to sit on the NERC standards board.

Join us as we talk with Cindy, Chris' wife about their journey, the Mission of The Honor Network, the touching stories as well as the heartbreaking reality of the many lives that are lost!

Learn About Us as we travel in our RV full-time with rescue dogs.

We are Brad & Kristina Solomon! Empty Nesters, Grandparents, Full-time RVers, Hawaii Lovers & Supporters of Rescue Animals and Paying It Forward.!

Originally, the journey started with the plan of moving to Hawaii and that is still our end goal.  However, circumstances changed,  like more Grandbabies arriving, so we felt the need to stay on the mainland for a while longer!  As a result, we decided to sell our business, rent out our house, buy an RV, load up the dogs and hit the road.

First and foremost, our desire is to encourage others to pause and take in the beauty all around you! In addition, see the effects “Pawzing” has on your mind, body & soul. Furthermore, we want to bring awareness to Animal Rescues. Discovering the wonderful effects these “Pawz” have on your life is such a great Reward! For instance, they give you unconditional love, as well as psychologically, emotionally & physically beneficial to their companions.
